Ding Xiaoyi shook his head secretly as he watched the father and son from Jiandao get on the sedan chair prepared by Liusu Palace.
The Jiandao father and son had no discernment at all, and they actually came to collect tribute from the Liusu Kingdom on behalf of Jiandao.
However, Jiandao is also famous in the East China Sea, even though Liusu is more than a thousand miles away from Jiandao.
It is further away than Fuso Kingdom, but Liusu Kingdom still chooses to rely on the influence of Jiandao.
"Hahahaha, Messenger Ding doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Have they ignored him?" Tan Tianya could see Ding Ding Xiaoyi's mood at this moment at a glance, and he couldn't help but joked.
"Old sir, where do you start? I'm just a passing visitor, how can it affect my mood?" Ding Xiaoyi waved his hand and said.
It was not because he was slighted that ruined his good mood, he just felt that the father and son of Jiandao were too arrogant.
Could it be that all the sword cultivators on Jiandao have this kind of virtue, but the Li Luo he saw did not have this kind of virtue.
Li Luo knew how to hide his power and bide his time. If Li Hongyi hadn't made a strong move, he might not have been able to keep Li Luo.
But this father and son are arrogant and unruly, as if in their eyes only Jiandao is the Sword Revising Sect.
"Servant Ding, it turns out you are here. Prince Geng has invited you to discuss something urgent."
A figure rushed towards him in a hurry, but it was Luo Qiang, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Seeing Luo Qiang coming to see him, Ding Xiaoyi was also very confused.
He had explained to Prince Geng that he would naturally return to the mission after finishing his own affairs.
"Let's talk about seniors. Juniors still have things to do, so let's just say goodbye."
Ding Xiaoyi cupped his fists and said to Tan Tianya.
"Messenger Ding is busy in advance and will come back when he has time.
When you come to Xuanyuezhuang, I will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome you." Tan Tianya said to Ding Xiaoyi with a pleasant smile.
Ding Xiaoyi agreed, and then he followed Luo Qiang to the post house prepared by the palace.
Dayong's envoys all settled in the post house prepared by the palace.
King Liusu held a banquet for three days and three nights, and today is only the second day.
"What did Prince Geng want to do with me? Did something happen to the mission again?" Ding Xiaoyi had a bad feeling in his heart.
Prince Geng knew that he was investigating the Jiuyou evil cultivator. If nothing happened to the mission, Prince Geng would not look for him.
"Well, an official from the mission went missing last night. We searched the entire post house, but we couldn't find the official. No one alive or dead, but no body."
Luo Qiang sighed to Ding Xiaoyi.
Upon hearing the news about Luo Qiang, Ding Xiaoyi's heart sank.
However, he did not expect that a murder case would occur among the Dayong Mission.
He is not a master at solving crimes either. Prince Geng looking for him is like asking for fish in a tree.
"Commander Luo, are there no clues in the post house?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Luo Qiang again.
"No, there was no aura fluctuation, and there was no trace of blood. The official seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and we have no clue at all."
Commander Luo smiled bitterly and said to Ding Xiaoyi.
After Ding Xiaoyi heard this, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He killed the Jiuyou evil cultivator and met Lord Hai and other Jiuyou evil cultivators on the street.
Although he finally sent the Ruan female ghost into reincarnation, he knew that the evil cultivator of Jiuyou must be in the dark and had a clear view of everything he did.
The enemy is in the dark, they are in the light,
Although Jiuyou evil cultivator did not dare to blatantly
To cause trouble for him.
However, Dayong's mission was uneven, and some of them were civilian officials.
Although they are protected by Haoran's righteousness, the Jiuyou evil cultivators are so powerful that they cannot be resisted by Haoran's righteousness.
But he didn't understand why the official disappeared silently, without even making any movement, which made him very confused.
Luo Qiang took Ding Xiaoyi to the post house of Liusu Kingdom.
The posthouse is right next to the palace. Although it is not magnificent, King Liusu also put a lot of effort into it.
The courtyards in the post house are well-proportioned, and the walls look like they have been re-decorated.
This post house should have been prepared in advance by King Liusu to entertain the Dayong envoys. The architectural style of the post house was also built based on the Dayong architectural style.
"Which room does the official live in?" Ding Xiaoyi followed Luo Qiang through the post house. They passed through the courtyards and finally came to the courtyard where the Dayong envoy stayed.
In this courtyard, there are some navy soldiers guarding the safety of the Yong Mission, and there are also imperial guards patrolling day and night.
Although it can't be said that even a fly flew in, it was still heavily guarded.
Ordinary monks cannot break into this posthouse silently.
"The official is in room No. D",
Luo Qiang replied to Ding Xiaoyi as he spoke.
Ding Xiaoyi was stunned,
In such a remote room, this official is just an insignificant figure.
However, the death of an official from Dayong's mission in the Liusu Kingdom was a rare event.
You must know that compared to the Kingdom of Liusu, Dayong is like the stars to the blazing sun. King Liusu also attaches great importance to this case.
When Ding Xiaoyi and Luo Qiang come
When they arrived at the room where the official slept, Prince Geng and others were already in the room, and the Liusu Kingdom also sent an official to assist.
As soon as Ding Xiaoyi entered the room, he felt the chaotic aura fluctuations.
He could only shake his head secretly, as all the clues had been covered up by the chaotic aura and there was no need to talk about solving the case.
"Servant Ding, you are finally back",
When Prince Geng saw Ding Xiaoyi arriving, he said to Ding Xiaoyi anxiously.
Seeing that Prince Geng's expression was not very good, Ding Xiaoyi knew that Prince Geng was somewhat worried.
"Prince Geng, ladies and gentlemen",
Ding Xiaoyi had no choice but to salute Prince Geng, and the officials of the Dayong Mission present also saluted Ding Xiaoyi one after another.
Although Ding Xiaoyi appears to be the bodyguard beside the princess, everyone knows that Ding Xiaoyi is actually a powerful person appointed by His Majesty Emperor Yong to go to Fusang.
Prince Geng is the chief officer of this mission, but Ding Xiaoyi is the mastermind of this eastward journey.
Without Ding Xiaoyi's efforts to turn the tide several times, the mission would have ceased to exist.
"My lords, please exit first, and I will have a chat with Prince Geng."
Ding Xiaoyi said to the officials of the mission.
Upon hearing Ding Xiaoyi's expulsion order, the officials were not unhappy at all. Instead, they walked out the door feeling relieved.
After the Dayong Mission officials left, the room instantly became quiet.
Ding Xiaoyi found that besides Luo Qiang, there was one person who had not left. He couldn't help but look at that person for a while.
"I am the national advisor of the Liusu Kingdom. My surname is Gongyang, and my last name is Quan." The man said to Ding Xiaoyi with a warm smile.
I saw this middle-aged man with dark skin.
Son, Ding Xiaoyi had already guessed that this person came from Liusu Palace.
This Gongyang Quan was only wearing a cloth robe. The robe was washed and shiny, which shows that this Gongyang Quan must be an extremely simple person.
The aura around him was restrained, giving him a feeling as deep as the sea.
He naturally knew about this national master from the Liusu Palace. Although it was rumored that the national master of the Liusu Palace was only a super-level practitioner, he felt that Gongyang Quan's real cultivation level was far more than a super-level one.
"It turns out he is Gongyang Imperial Master. I have admired him for a long time." Ding Xiaoyi said, cupping his fists towards the dark-skinned middle-aged man.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man also hugged Ding Xiaoyi and returned the favor.
There are only four people left in this room,
Ding Xiaoyi, Prince Geng, Luo Qiang and the national advisor of Liusu Palace.
A pair of giant eyes appeared in front of Ding Xiaoyi's eyes,
He wanted to look through the yin and yang cycle to see if he could find some clues.
He searched for a long time, but to his disappointment, he found no clues.
There were no signs of a fight in this room.
There are no traces of aura fluctuations. Even if the aura here is covered up by the chaotic aura, the Yin-Yang Samsara Eye can still easily capture it.
The mission official seemed to disappear directly. He walked into the room and never appeared again.
Even if he wanted to go out, the Royal Guards patrolling the courtyard should be discovered by the navy soldiers.
There was no movement at all last night, so Ding Xiaoyi asked the guards and navy soldiers who were patrolling last night carefully.
Without exception, they all believed that the official had not gone out.
Because they saw that the official was still reading last night, and the window of this room still reflected the shadow of the official reading.
After hearing the description of the night guard,
Ding Xiaoyi was also at a loss. This was the second level, and it was impossible for the official to escape and disappear.
After carefully questioning the patrolling guards and navy soldiers, Ding Xiaoyi did not get any clues.
He looked carefully at the candlestick under the window sill.
The candles in the candlestick had already been burned out, and then he saw the burned ashes next to the candlestick.
He thought it was just the wick of the candle that had been blown out of the candlestick by the wind.
But when he looked carefully, he found that the ashes did not look like the candle wick.
Gently pinching the piece of ashes, Ding Xiaoyi realized that it was a thin piece of paper ashes.
Although it was burned out, he could still smell the smell of the paper.
Ding Xiaoyi was stunned,
He searched carefully, and then he found a thin thread in the gap in the window.
The thread was embedded in the thin crack of the window. He pulled hard and the thread was pulled out.
"hiss……",
Everyone gasped when they saw Ding Xiaoyi peeling off his cocoon and pulling out silk.
No one thought that there was a mystery hidden in this room.
The ashes next to the candlestick and the thin thread embedded in the crack of the window all gave off a strange aura.
The missing official was not a real practitioner, but his disappearance plunged the Dayong Mission into a state of panic.
Ding Xiaoyi already had some understanding in his mind,
His eyes flickered, and there were still many details that he needed to refine, but everything was already very clear.
"Weiwei Ding is indeed a very human being. Not only is he extremely talented in swordsmanship, but he is also superb in his methods of solving crimes.
Transformation, if my master hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.”
Gong Yangquan sighed to Ding Xiaoyi.
"It's just a trivial trick. In fact, it doesn't mean anything, but it can't prove anything. It can only prove that the official of my Dayong Mission should still be alive." Ding Xiaoyi said with a burning gaze.
